Abstract
THIS ARTICLE IS a response to John Hull's analysis of ‘religionism’ and of its significance for religious education. The article takes issue with both Hull's understanding of the nature of the problem of religious prejudice and his suggested solution. It is argued that Hull's direct linking of religious intolerance with religious claims to uniqueness and superiority is unwarranted. Empirical evidence does not support a causal link and a deductive link runs into logical problems. In addition, Hull's particular educational and theological strategy for overcoming religious intolerance is ill-advised and may run counter to his best intentions.
